I'm not officially doing NaNoWriMo, but I have been rapidly taking notes on a plot bunny for the past several days. Maybe I'll even get around to actually writing a scene or two this month before I once again decide that I can't write.

Can you make a profile without signing up for those "encouraging" e-mails because those make me a little bit homicidal.

Because books.

Can't you just unsubscribe from them, like anything?

The one year I did NaNo, I don't remember emails.

I don't get emails. So, yes, at some point I killed them all.

I've found myself a new writing/critique group! Local authors who all write YA -- most of them were at the signing last week, and they seem like a really fun group.

Wish me luck! I need some f2f people here, and a writing group makes it even better.

Good deal, Amy! I hope it's a good group, with helpful insights and No Drama.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck, Amy, that sounds excellent so far!

I don't get NaNo e-mails either, and I think I just created the account (and didn't mess with any settings) this year, so maybe that's the default. I completely forgot to write on Saturday, and I am not hitting the daily target to make the magic 50,000 by the end of the month, but other than the one day I have written SOMETHING every day and that was really my goal. So, yay for that.
